|title=Murder at the Brightwell

|author=Ashley Weaver

|rating=4

|genre=Crime (Historical)

|summary=It probably helps to be a fan of Agatha Christie. It probably helps to absolutely adore the sheer selfish indulgence and style of the 1930s. It probably helps to just accept the ''rich'' as being completely divorced from real life. It definitely helps if you're happy to take your crime as a puzzle, rather than as heart-rending, gut-wrenching rendition of reality.

~~|title=The Luck of the Vails~~

~~|author=E F Benson~~

~~|rating=5~~

~~|genre=Crime (Historical)~~

|summary='The sequestered village of Vail lies in a wrinkle of the great Wiltshire downs, and is traversed by the Bath Road.' Of course the big inn is called 'The Vail Arms' and about a mile from the village is 'the big house'. Benson doesn't name the house – indeed it wouldn't have needed a name. Locally it would just be known as the big house, and any local delivery person would know where to deposit any attached to Lord Vail.
